Winner of the 2025 ARKast award for Best Drama podcast, "Purgatory, Missouri" is a suspenseful and darkly comic supernatural mystery/drama that explores the boundaries of consciousness and questions our day-to-day reality.

In "Purgatory, Missouri", an epileptic woman falls into a coma and finds herself in a grimy, rundown carnival, where the sky is grey and danger is everywhere.

When his cold read was finished, Richard, Maureen, Allyson and I looked at each other like a hurricane just blew back our hair. Recording the scene in the studio with Dave Foley, he delivered again. Hunter was wiping back tears. Along with his alter ego of "DJ Nate" spinning records around town, he has voiced numerous commercials, video games and anime. You have heard him in White Castle commercials, Japanese anime TV shows, gamers know him from his work on the English version of “Fighting Spirit”, “Victorious Boxers: Revolution”, and many, many more.
